CINESHOOTER SYSTEM
MOUNTING YOUR CINESHOOTER PAN & TILT HEAD
To set up your CineShooter Pan & Tilt Head, we recommend first mounting your CineShooter to
a secure platform (A slider, a tripod, or some other camera mounting base).
The mounting foot of the CineShooter is an Arca-Swiss base that works with our Kwik Release
Receiver, as well as a variety of other third party Arca-based mounts.
For those not using an Arca plate
— on the bottom of the Arca foot
is one on-center 3/8”-16 threaded hole, and two ¼”-20 threaded holes
on either side to provide alternative ways to mount your equipment to
non-Arca bases.
POWERING YOUR CINESHOOTER PAN & TILT HEAD
There are many ways to power your CineShooter. Depending on what options and accessories
you’re using, you have the option of powering your system via:
• The provided 12v barrel connector AC power supply
• Kessler MagPak battery (w/ 12v barrel connector cable)
• V-Mount Battery (requires add-on Battery Plate option)
• Gold Mount/AB Mount Battery (requires add-on Battery Plate option)
• Batteries and power devices with Lemo 2-pin power cable (Pin-1 GND)
MOUNTING A CAMERA TO YOUR CINESHOOTER PAN & TILT HEAD
There are two main things to keep in mind when mounting your camera to the CineShooter:
• The balance/weight distribution of your camera
• The placement of your sensor on Nodal Center
